Super time to think of trading

Speaking of which, anyone know where Brett Stapleton has finished up?

I don't know about Brett, but his little brother Nathan is playing for the Cronulla Sharks in the NRL.

Stapo really kinda shot himself in the foot leaving the then, I reckon, had he been here, he would've got a fair bit of game time!

i know the broncos were chasing him back in 2005 when he signed with the force

the force actually released him from his contract because they though Ioane was going to stay.

I thought he went back to Queesnland as well??

Nathan Sharpe, Junior Pelesasa, Tai McIsaac, Rudi Vedelago and Drew Mitchell were all first team regulars when they left the Reds. But it wasnt the first team regulars that was the problem, it was the signing of younger players like Scott Daruda, Digby Ioane, Luke Doherty and Tajhon Malita, thats one of the big reasons QLD had such a shit 2008, its why players like Quade Cooper, Charlie Fetoia and Bredan Vaalu debut'd about 2 seasons to early.

Im not disagreeing that the Force didnt have much of a option, all im saying is that the Force have no grounds to whinge about other franchises signing there players.

TOCC I hope that's not a freudian slip - we haven't even played the 2008 season yet
